Chapter 985 One step at a time

Qinglong was on the verge of losing consciousness. He felt the ground shaking and forced himself to get up. He stumbled towards Baihu and said, "Those people... Gu Hao, Xiaotian, Sun Yuelin must have been brought to this world as well. If an avalanche occurs, they will... die."

Baihu was a little confused for a moment after hearing this. This vast snowfield was all silver and white, and it was impossible to find them in a short time. Moreover, even if they were right in front of them, where was the exit of the space? They also couldn't find the exit of the space in a short time.
When Bai Hu thought of this, he looked at Zhu Long who was still madly crashing into the snow mountain and said in a deep voice, "The only way out now... is to go over and stop that guy from continuing to seek death!"

After hearing this, Yang Jian looked at the severely injured White Tiger and the Azure Dragon who was only breathing his last breath, and with a look of resignation on his face, he swung his three-pointed, two-edged sword and flew into the air, flying straight towards Zhulong who was still struggling desperately. At that time, Zhulong could not hold on for much longer. The deep spiritual power in his body slowly leaked out from the wound. After fighting with Yang Jian for a few more rounds, he gradually could not maintain his current body shape, and changed back to his previous human form and fell heavily to the ground...

Finally, everything in this space returned to calm, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance stopped collapsing at the last moment.

Zhulong never thought that he would lose so miserably. He wanted to laugh at himself, but his spiritual power was reversed, and blood began to ooze out of his mouth and nose. At this time, a pair of exquisite first-layer calfskin shoes soaked in snow water appeared in front of him. Zhulong looked up and saw that the person coming was Yang Jian, who had just beaten him and made him unable to fight back.

Yang Jian looked at Zhulong's miserable appearance, raised the double-edged sword in his hand with a cold look... He wanted to give the other party a quick death, but at this moment, he heard Baihu said in a deep voice, "Wait!"

Yang Jian was angrily saying, "What are you waiting for? He has already developed a demon heart... We must not let him stay!"

Bai Hu then stepped forward quickly, panting and saying, "If we want to get out safely, he can't be killed!"

Yang Jian finally understood what Baihu meant. This space was created by Zhulong's spiritual power. If Zhulong died, this space would naturally cease to exist. So he angrily pulled Zhulong up from the ground and said viciously, "Tell me... where is the exit of this space?"

Zhulong tilted his head, spat out the blood in his mouth nonchalantly and said, "Kill me if you want... I will die a worthy death if I can have the three of you buried with me."

Qinglong knew that he couldn't choke the other party any more at this time, so he said earnestly, "Brother Zhulong, have you ever thought that Shanhai Zhiyi is still in Baihu's body? Do you want to drag Yayu to be buried with him?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhulong said quietly, "Compared to being imprisoned for a thousand years in loneliness, it would be better to die directly. The child Yayu is not very smart... Without my care, his life will not be much better. It is better for him to be taken away by me."

Qinglong thought for a while and continued, "Brother Zhulong, why would you want to die when you can live? Why don't I help you think of a way out? Since you don't want Yayu to be imprisoned alone in the ancient book, you can go in and accompany him. I have been to the world of ancient books before, and it is very special. Or it can be said that it is somewhat similar to the space you created. It is still as big as the sky and the earth. Instead of hiding here every day, you might as well go into the ancient book and accompany Yayu."

Qinglong's words seemed to have moved Zhulong. After a long silence, he suddenly asked Qinglong a question, "Qinglong...what does it feel like to be imprisoned for a thousand years?"

Qinglong smiled bitterly and said, "In my opinion, it's just a nap... But I don't have as good luck as you and your son. What was sealed in me was my soul, not my body. Don't hesitate, brother Zhulong, you only have one chance." Zhulong was silent for a moment and then said, "Okay... I agree to enter the ancient book."

But Yang Jian suddenly said, "Before entering the ancient book, are you going to get us out of this hellhole?"

Unexpectedly, Zhulong snorted after hearing this and said, "You have beaten me to the point where I have no spiritual power left... I can't help you anymore."

Yang Jian immediately said angrily, "Are you kidding us?"

Zhulong shook his head and said, "I am just stating the facts... But you don't have to worry too much. I felt that there is a trace of spiritual power guarding the exit. As for whether you can find it, it depends on your own ability."

Baihu suddenly remembered that the spiritual power that Zhulong mentioned should be the tracking paper crane that came in with them. Now they just need to find Gu Hao, and then the paper crane in his hand can lead them to the exit. So Baihu nodded and said, "Okay... I will trust you again."

After Baihu finished speaking, he sacrificed "Strange Stories from Mountains and Seas" and took in Zhulong who volunteered to go in. When he finished all the operations and took back the ancient book, he saw Qinglong could no longer support himself and fell directly to the ground. Baihu saw that his situation was not optimistic, so he looked at Yang Jian and said, "Two choices, one is that I and he will wait here, and you will go find Gu Hao and the others, and then come back and meet up with us and then find the entrance to the space; the second is that you carry him on your back, and we will go find Gu Hao and the others together, and then find the entrance to the space."

When Yang Jian heard this, he glared and yelled, "Why should I carry him on my back?!"

Baihu said angrily, "Can't you see that I'm seriously injured? I'm lucky that you don't have to carry me! Stop talking nonsense and choose quickly, otherwise by the time we find those people, they will have already frozen to death."

No matter how reluctant Yang Jian was, he had no choice but to carry Qinglong on his back, because he really didn't want to find Gu Hao and Xiaotian, and then have them come back to find Baihu and Qinglong, and then go look for the entrance to the space... Going back and forth like this was too tiring, and he just wanted to get out as soon as possible in one step.

Unexpectedly, before he had taken two steps, Baihu suddenly called Yang Jian and said, "Hey... lend me your double-edged sword."

When Yang Jian heard this, he immediately asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"

"As a crutch! Can't you see that I'm also seriously injured?!" Baihu said awkwardly.

Finally, in this vast snowy plain, Yang Jian walked step by step with Qinglong on his back, while Baihu followed them laboriously, leaning on Yang Jian's three-pointed, two-edged sword. Fortunately, the three of them met up with the little dog Sunday before they had walked a few kilometers. It turned out that Qinglong had told Sunday to wait until there was no big movement, and then bring everyone to find them.
